Our house has a window in the stairwell that’s like our own James Turrell installation, changing every hour, every day. I take a lot of comfort from it.

VOTE

#AtlasNetwork thinktanks funded by Big Oil/billionaires pushed privatisation of public assets in the '80s, then sold to Atlas insiders. They advocated for removal of taxation of fossil/polluting industry, undermine public support for climate policy & block clean energy with disinformation. #NZpol

Righto Aotearoa, it’s our turn now.

“But for all that, it’s the #Greens, not Labour, who embody the progressive movement. The Greens will drive what progress we make. It’s the Greens, in cost of living, climate, housing and health, who embody hope.” #nzpol Couldn’t agree more #PartyVoteGreen✅+🖤❤️💚 open.substack.com/pub/simonwil...

Fonterra is just a corporation, and it needs to be regulated to protect freshwater and the climate. It is a corporation owned by other corporations. Fonterra, and the corporations that own it, all have a single purpose: maximising financial returns to their owners www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/sto...

National has funnelled $2.4 billion of a total $3b increase to the private sector through its term - that's 80% of all its increased healthcare funding allocation. I've written at length on this topic and again today Privatisation kills - no more greater than in healthcare - reason NSW banned it

hey all i dont know what authorsdaily dot com is? but they have an "Interview" with me posted that i - never gave - is full of lies - has my wrong pronouns - is full of things i dont do - or would never say? so i emailed them and told them to take it down but jfc, i am tired

Greed

If you aren't rich and vote for any party to re-elect the present coalition, you deserve whatever catastrophic health outcome is coming to you. Buh-bye. thekaka.substack.com/p/brand-new-...

“I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them.” — KURT VONNEGUT

This is yet more of the shit that traps people into a cycle of epistemic & hermeneutic injustice and deception— frameworks where people don't know what they think they know and can't trust the mechanisms that are supposed to help them gain knowledge. Not only that, but now they have false CERTAINTY…

I'm real pro-having rights, but some people shouldn't be allowed to parent

Last day! NZ National restricted general roll voting regulations for the first time in 40 yrs To reporters please don’t repeat spin- the change won’t speed up counting - And let’s not shrug & say just 2% fewer voters enrolled It’s 300,000 NZers prevented from voting That’s an entire NZ town

We can all use our voices and votes for te taiao nature this election - but we MUST be enrolled by midnight THIS SUNDAY ‼️‼️

In the immortal words of Helen Kelly, ‘It’s by design.” #NZPol

This is a brilliant article. “How to vote? In my view, if your electorate has a progressive candidate who could win, vote for them. But whatever else you do, party vote Green. It’s not just that there’s so much at stake, although there is. It’s that this is a moment of so much opportunity.” #nzpol

The International Space Station. Countries that had been ready to lob nuclear warheads at each other for decades instead flung humans together into orbit. The fact it functioned past its use-by date is itself remarkable.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

Okay this crap has made me angry. You wanna find some REAL activists who will share things you can actually DO instead of stare at deactivist "A.i." bullshit? Here's a thread of starter packs!

They bought the company that was distributing the new Musk documentary and pulled it from theaters. Living in a global fascist plutocracy is wild.

Frustrating that no one else seems to be reporting this yet. This is huge and important if true! www.showbiz411.com/2026/10/23/c...

Elon Musk has apparently paid hundreds of millions of dollars to block the distribution of "Musk," the documentary.

Attention NZ media (still no coverage??) – you'll definitely want to pop your heads out from under that #nzpol rock for this one!

PJ.2.1 is an emerging COVID variant worth watching. It's been gaining ground in Canada, the US and Spain. Early research suggests it may bind more strongly to ACE2 receptors on our cells, potentially helping the virus enter cells and spread more easily, rather than relying on greater immune escape.

"Childhood measles vaccination rates fall worldwide post COVID-19" "Researchers say urgent action is needed to restore routine immunisation programs after estimated measles cases among children under 5 rose to 15.6 million worldwide in 2023, a 40% increase from 2019."

What's that you say? A UK study aimed at proving that ADHD and autism are over-diagnosed actually found that we are still under-diagnosing both, and lack access to assessments remains a huge barrier to support? What a shocking and unexpected conclusion! www.politicsuk.com/p/fonagy-rev...

80,000 votes stripped by an anti democratic government #nzpol @bernardchickey.bsky.social thekaka.substack.com/p/early-clos...

I get this manufactured media political outrage over politicians of the left meeting gangs, 'they're meeting bad people who will endanger your safety' blah. Casey Costello's ACT & National Govt have given $300m tax breaks to an industry that kills 13 kiwis a day. Who is the greater danger?

RFK Jr. likes to claim that the current measles outbreak isn’t his fault. Nobody here will be surprised to hear that he is lying again. Under his “leadership”, the CDC didn’t respond to a request to validate a test that could diagnose cases faster. They said they had other priorities.

If you're using "A.i." for search, you're filling your brain with lies, propaganda, and bullshit. Use @duckduckgo.com or @kagi.com and turn the "A.i." features OFF.

Solar farms in the Gobi are cutting dust storms. A study of 17 farms found the panels slow surface winds by more than 9% and make soil up to 17% less erodible, reducing springtime dust by about 352,000 tonnes a month. RenewEconomy buff.ly/bambHT8 #ShareGoodNewsToo

UK: "I lost my dad and sister to COVID - I doubt care inquiry will bring change" The COVID inquiry found government failures in care settings allowed the virus to spread. Over 43,000 care home deaths involved COVID between March 2020 and July 2022. One woman lost her father and sister 5 days apart.

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Old stories are failing, and #AI now writes new ones at an industrial scale. So who writes the human Story? Ex-Xena writer turned #SciFi novelist PJ Manney on the New Mythos, myth gaps, and why #storytelling is to us what water is to fish. We recorded this in 2022. Truer now. snglrty.co/3XMYg1f
